Jail and Records Contacts
Choose the office by the question being asked. Current county-jail custody belongs with detention. A historical booking sheet or identification photo belongs with sheriff records, while the arresting police agency may hold the incident report.

- For current presence in the Adult Detention Center, call the detention information line. Santa Cruz County has no verified public name-search roster.

- For Patagonia law-enforcement records, contact the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office. The town's current page identifies the sheriff as its service provider.

- For a person committed to state prison, use the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry offender search or its public-records portal.
